The Unbox Therapy channel featured an interview with OnePlus founder and Oppo vice president Pete Lau. Including the first time we were shown a folding OnePlus smartphone.

The model will be called OnePlus Open, and it has not yet been shown in full. In particular, the chamber block remained closed with a special nozzle. But they showed how the hinge works, and in general you can evaluate both the appearance and the proportions. In addition, you can see that the smartphone will receive the physical sound mode switch familiar to OnePlus devices.

It also turned out that OnePlus Open will be a complete copy of Oppo Find N3. Or the second one will be a copy of the first one. The bottom line is that OnePlus is now owned by Oppo, and as Lau revealed, the two teams have come together to create one better foldable smartphone. So it will be the same model, but under different names for different markets.

This foldable phone is jointly developed by the Oppo team and the OnePlus team because we want to create synergy and bring together the best of the two teams. This foldable phone will have a different market entry strategy in different regions because there is only one best foldable phone right now. Oppo’s team has amassed a wealth of experience in foldable designs and camera technology, while OnePlus is renowned for its fast and smooth performance, lightweight design, and top-notch hardware performance. So, we have decided to combine the best of these two teams and create this foldable phone and we will use different go to market strategies in different regions so that more users can get this device

In total, MIUI 15 should receive 126 Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco devices.

As you know, the new iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max received a USB-C port with support for the USB 3.0 standard. However, the included cable only supports USB 2.0, and so far the only Apple-branded cable with normal speed is a Thunderbolt 4 cable for $70. Phone Arena decided to compare the latter with the included cable, the $15 USB 3 cable from Amazon, and the cable that comes with an external SSD.

In this case, a Samsung SSD was used for testing, but this does not really matter.

So, the first test was to copy a two-minute 4K ProRes video from the phone to the SSD, which weighs 9.86 GB. With the included iPhone cable, the process took 4 minutes and 5 seconds, but in all other cases it took only 27 seconds.

The second test was to copy a file from iPhone to MacBook Pro. The included cable from the iPhone showed a result of 4 minutes and 38 seconds, with the cable from Amazon the process took 1 minute and 9 seconds, and the transfer via the Thunderbolt cable took 1 minute and 6 seconds.

Thus, for such tasks, it is not worth buying a $70 cable, since a regular USB 3.0 cable is enough. However, in Apple branded stores, customers are dissuaded from purchasing third-party cables.
